Kfforts bdni? made y Austria to bririi,' its American sul.-'ts under j control calculated to atnih every J American familiar with our history and institution.-. An Austrian, Josepn Ciepieloxvskt. hns b- c n haled into court in YnuiitcHii. O., at the instance of tho Austrian consul, on a charge of treasonable utteram s against the A ustro-H unuarian government. The inter. tion was to obtain a court order for the deportation of the offender. Unco hack m Au-tna, he would he Xunished severely and the lesson would be taken to h art by all residents ami citizens of Awstro-Hungarian origin in the United States. The jitt-mit has coin to naught. Tho accused man properly refused to answer any questions in court, denying the risht of the Au.-tro-Hunarlan government to quiz him ami defying it to remove him from the country The jutlKe who acte.I as ex iminim; ma'is-j trate, hail to acquies c, admitting that he was without authority to make Ciepielowski answer. Hut it is an amazing thing that the man was dragKeI into an American cairl at alt on such a charge. It is one of the simplest fundamentals of American constitutional freedom that no man can be punished on American foil for it political offense committed in a foreign country or constituting a crime only under the laws of that country. The most sacred aspect of Ameriean soil has always been its character as political asylum for the oppressed of other nation.-. Moreover, we welcome, a.s we always have welcomed, freedom of speech on the part of new immigrants no less than of native citizens. If any newcomer chooses to express his opinion of hi.s former government or of ours, he has a perfect right to do so, whether he approves or condemns. The arm of no government in tho world is long and strong enough to reach across the Atlantic and drag hack home for punishment a subject whom we do not recognize as a criminal. Neither has it power to close ! that subject's mouth. The only limitations to his free utterance, whether lie is a naturalized citizen or not, are American law and American standards of propriety. It has been remarked that this mistaken attempt to misuse American courts is merely a feeble form of "frightf ulness," intended to scare Austro-Hungarians from working in munition factories ami front expressing their honest opinions of the repudiated Hapsburg sovereignty. It is but one phase of a general campaign to terrorize our immigrant citizens through threats of punishment for doing what they have a perfect legal and moral right to do. Immigrants of whatever nationality or sympathies cannot b-e made to understand too clearly that the, United States is the same haven cf refuge for the oppressed of other lands that it has always been, and that the whole power of a nation lnO.rioo.OOO people is back of their newly won liberty.

CJiacomo Giavelll of New York city is dead. He's the man who discovered the American trufile. And if you've never heard of tru files they're a sort of cross between a potato and a puffball, which grows underground without any foliage or roots, and is worth eight dollars a pound. Truf lies are used chieily for ilavormg food. You can get meat served "with truffles" in the best New York and Chicago restaurants by paing two or three dollars extra. You probably won't see any truftles at that, but you'll get a whiff of them in the taiue which you can ncognize if you're a connoisseur. (tiavelli originated the trufsle industry in America.

HKcnNM.vr; or accidi;nts. A jitney bus operating between .South llend and Mishaxvaka has jumped into the river at the L.ogan at. bridge or somewhere near it, and now watch the traction magnates Kloat over it; ditto, their anti-jitney friends. It is the lirst immobile that has ever I gone into U river. No automohile accidents eve happened until the arrival of the jitney bu.s. We have been waiting, U, these many years, for the 'jitney bus to arrive in South Bend so i an automobile might jump into the river. And, besides, we need the jitney bus, and the jitney accident to make us forget that the street railway lines are not accident proof. of course, had the jitneys been required to furnish a bond of sutllcient magnitude that no one could furnish it, there would be no jitneys, and no accidents. We need to bond the jitneys to the bow wows in order to get rid of the excitement. Excitement is bad for the nervous system, and nervuisness is bad if one hits to play the role of strap-hanger when he rides on the street cars. Think of it? A game of something-or-other at Notre Dame today, and the patrons o tho little two-by-four cars running out that way, having to hang onto the steps, and tie themselves to the ceiling, should they be of any considerable number; all under a nervous strain because the jitneys are not bonded and accidents sometimes occur, except, of course, on street cars. "lie careful! The jitneys are liable to scrape you off from there. They are very mean about that sometimes." Thus the conductors are told to say to passengers forced to hang onto the side steps of the cars during the rush hours; but, again, of course, not until after they have collected the nickel. And it would be mean of a jitney driver, we declare, to scrape a street car passenger off from his perch: the side step of a trolley car. These "perch-birds" are the ones that pay the interest on the watered bonds of the traction company bonds not to protect the public, or to finance eltlcient service, but for the magnates to speculate on and play with. TIIK AUTO HACK KXIIIIHT. Indeed, no. the automobile race fxhibition at .Springbrook park Thursday, was not all bad. In fact, there wasn't any of it what you would call bad. It was an exhibition. We do not recall whether such is all that the press agents claimed for it or not, but we guess it was. It may be that those complaining have only themselves to blame for their failure to distinguish between a promise of real automoI 1 I 1 - .... 1 . . .. ... . 1 ! 1 hibit. As the latter it was a decided success. S'outh lUiid had an opportunity to see some fast automobile driving on a half-mile track the only kind of a track present to see fast automobile driving on. The Indianapolis, Chicago and heepshead Kay speedways do not run past the grandstand at Springbrook. Speeding on a half-mile track is naturally comparatively slow. We happen to know that the announced smashing of half-mile track records, in l:lo. when the record is really l:eS, and 1:10 was not even made, was .-nghtly exaggerated, and. ought not to have been indulged in. To be frank about it, the frills tacked onto the affair did more to discount it than did the aiTiir Itself. No one had reason to expect great wonders, and still, especially to those who had never seen a speed exhibition before, or on a half-mile track, the wonders were present. We simply mention it in passing because the rate exhibition manager, who admits that he is in the employ of the Maxwell people, tells us the fair association warns him to come tion next year and we would like to have our readers understand that it is to be a rate exhibition rather than a race. What you see Ls some Rood, fast driving, and you see It all the way around the track a splendid stage for such a performance. YILIiA'S POLICY. From a military viewpoint. Gen. Villa's removal ' his forces to the statv of Sonora where, it is aiid. he intends to set up an independent government, is good strategy. Son,ra has been comparatively little ravaged by the wars in .Mexico. The country is rich and fairly prosperous. It is not open to attack except from one side. northeast, and by concentrating 1 his army in and about Cananea. Villa can doubtless hold out indeiinitely

against any army Carranza may send against him. His forces xvill be getting a much needed rest and living on the fat of the land. As that is what attracts the soldiery of Mexico principally, his ranks will soon be tilled with nexv recruits. In the meantime Carranza will be forced to move his forces back and forth from one extreme end of tho republic to the other as Villa and Zapata alternate in their activities. But from a political standpoint. Villa's move may mean the recognition of Carranza and an end of Villa's standing as a real factor in Mexico's affairs. Serious complications are bound to result, in such a case, and the revolution will likely be prolonged indefinitely. This country should not recognize any faction until there is a very decisivo victory won. The mere occupation of territory in Mexico means nothing at all. a goop tiiin(; ovi:kwoi:ivi:p. Gootl butter by any other name will taste as good. There's rebellion in the Elgin butter trust. Omaha creamery is going to cut loose anel sell as Omaha. There came a time when butter made around about Elgin Jjot a great name, and a little bit better price than ether butter. Greed capitalized that name, formed a trust anel made anything labelled Elgin a standard all over the country, at extra cost to the consumers. They've played Elgin's butter reputation to the breaking point. Omaha butter is. in fact, just as good and Omaha's first act is to cut the price two cents a pound tt it. Omaha! Maybe your butter hasn't as much eclat as the Elgin, but they tell U3 it has got fully as much grease. It seems to have done John I. Rockefeller, Jr., a lot of g-ood to don a coal digger's suit for a day or two in the Colorado mines. It would do him still more good if he'd wear that suit for a month, doing a miner's work and living on a miner's wages. Every young millionaire who has never done any manual labor ought to take a preliminary course in wage earning toil. It's what Peter the Great did. xvhen he xvas fitting himself to rule Russia, and it made him the greatest and wisest of all the czars. A Brooklyn. N.

TOW J NO Ni:i:p FOR CAGES. (Baltimore American.) Young ladies employed as typewriters and stenographers have a right to feel indignant at the statement made by Mrs. Charlotte .Smith that they should be kept in xvire cages while at work. It is the idea of Mrs. Smith that this is the onlyway younger members of Iter sex can be protected from insult on the part of their employers. Mrs. timith is quoted as saying: "Just as soon as the stenographer enters the oMice the employer ogles her, draxv.s out a box et" candy and gettf nearer. A young girl can't do anything but bear it. Many a girl is afraid to resent it on account of her position. These old sinners take advantage of it. It's got to stop." It certainly would have to stop if Mrs. Smith's xxords were true.
